what is the RECEPTIOGATE

These aren’t just aesthetic juxtapositions.
They mirror the mechanics behind ReceptioGate:

Software pretending to replace scholarship.
Blogs pretending to replace peer review.
Personal vanity disguising itself as expertise.

Welcome to the official documentation site on ReceptioGate.
This platform brings together verified information, academic responses, and legal context regarding the coordinated smear campaign against Prof. Carla Rossi — a case that exposed how institutional compliciy and market interests can distort truth in the academic world.

A once-ignored blog became a tool of reputational sabotage —
not through facts or academic dialogue, but through insinuation, distortion, and algorithmic amplification.
The figure of Bacchus with a smartphone says it plainly: image over substance, the intoxicating thrill of becoming known — not for knowledge, but for attacking a known scholar

In ReceptioGate, the hunger for attention proved stronger than the commitment to truth. And the consequences were real.

This is what happens when cultural heritage is filtered through vanity, screens, and blog-fuelled vendettas. The blog at the origin of the smear campaign has been inactive for over a year — while the scholar it targeted is more productive than ever, with her latest exposé published in the Harvard Art Law Review.

ALTERED TRUTH

It didn’t take much: a blog, a few blurred screenshots, and an eager audience ready to mistake gossip for truth
